Thursday

 

Max and his sister Millie............. gave up trying to get all three to look at the camera so went with Millie who at 4 is pretty cooperative and Max, who was a bit cranky as you can see from the photo!
On the Scrapbook Essentials forum a photo swap was started by Kelly (an awesome lady who scraps more than anyone I know) where forum members could sign up to each be sent a photo of Max that they could scrap for his very first album, I received the first one today from an amazingly talented lady - Christi - who simply creates the most gorgeous layouts! Here is the layout 



Am slowly getting into a routine with 3 children, it's certainly busy but to be honest no more so than 2 and Max is such a good baby, mind you it does take a lot longer to do things as people stop you and comment on him, the supermarket took 1 1/2 hours by the time I got around and spoke to all the staff and 3 elderly ladies stopped me, was a bit nervous taking both Paige and Max as our darling daugher has generally had enough of sitting in the trolley after about a nano second, but today she was quite happy to sit in the trolley next to Max and kept giving him little kisses, sooo cute!! Then.............. we got to the checkout and she promptly pulled all the Kit Kats out the box!!!! Oh well, at least she grabbed something I like I suppose!!

Busy Busy

 

Life is hectic - 3 children, a business to run, friends to keep up to date with, it's a whirlwind at the moment, but I have always loved being busy, Mum has always said I have had ants in my pants as I can't stand still!
The picture above is a sneak peek of the kit that our Monthly Guest Designer, Monique will be working with, it has some of the new papers from Urban Lily in it which are very cool, looking forward to seeing what she comes up with!
We are expecting our shipments of Basic Grey and Scenic Route this week, all the latest releases from both so am looking forward to having a play with those, it seems like an age since I did anything resembling scrapbooking!!!
Max continues to grow, our midwife came yesterday and he is a whopping 9lb 11ozs, considering he is 3 weeks old today and his birth weight was 7lb 15oz, he's certainly a growing lad!
The girls are still smitten with their little brother and fight over who gets to hold him first, am having a wee photo shoot this afternoon so will post the result later - hmmm trying to get 3 children all looking at the camera at the same time could be very interesting!!

Due Date............

Well today was supposed to be the day that our wee guy was due to arrive, seems a bit surreal that he has been here 2 weeks now, suppose he gets that from me, always early, he's 8lb 13ozs (fond of his food it would appear) and just awesome!

Speaking of babies, Heidi Swapp is a Mum again, baby girl called Capri - her childrens names are all so different, love that, she has 2 boys Colton and Corey, Quincy is their daughter and now baby Capri!

BIG LETTERS...............

These big 22cm high letters have just arrived in - am thinking that I may have to use some for the girls and Max's room......... they are a good thickness chipboard
so should stick to the wall okay I'm thinking!
Have been busy packing Urban Lily preorders, will be dreaming about their products at this rate, their products are too cute and have cute names too!
Bought Max his first pair of camo pants today from Pumpkin Patch, he looks totally gorgeous and the girls got a new pair of jeans each with bling sewn to the hip, will post pics later!

Our Urban Lily shipment has arrived in the country finally, am very excited to see this range in real life as it seems an age since I ordered it! This months guest designer has been selected - congratulations to Ruth - click here to see the kit Ruth will be creating with - love the Basic Grey Color Me Silly, lots of fun to be had with those papers!

Sleeping Babies.........

 





are always cute - wouldn't you agree! Well our wee guy LOVES to sleep so we are lucky in that respect! He's doing so well, he was weighed on Monday and had put on a whole 300gms in 3 days, the normal weight gain is around 200gms a week give or take so our wee man is doing really well!!! Aaron was so proud when he heard how much weight Max had gained - men and their sons!!!!!
The weather has been great the last 2 days so am contemplating taking him for a big walk in the buggy, mind you now that I have said it it will probably rain!!
The girls are FAB, love their little brother dearly and are adjusting well to having another person around, we had a family dinner on Monday night and it was so BIZARRE doing the head count in the back seat in the car on the way there, 3 little people sitting there looking back at us!
Millie came home today from Kindy absolutely covered in blue dye, seriously she looked like Smurfette, turns out she got into a paint brush flicking play fight with one of the little boys at her kindy - needless to say the teachers weren't impressed but I am just pleased she stood up to the wee boy and got her own back!!!
Paige is well Paige, into everything! Her talking is coming along so well and she has lots of words and can make herself pretty clear when she wants or needs something, such a hard case, Aaron and I often find myself hiding behind our hands laughing when we are trying to tell her off as she is just so cute!

The kit for the Guest Monthly Designer is now on the forum - with the weather warming up am feeling quite cheery so thought I would design the kit to this theme - if you still haven't checked out the site then click here, there is lots happening, monthly swaps, competitions and lots of chatting!!!!
Received confirmation that the new Scenic Route papers will be here in approx 2 weeks, these papers are just beautiful, love Scenic Route!!! The chipboard products etc will be here later in the month! Well had better go and do some paperwork before the children wake up!
